![I rode one of these today. It was AWESOME! It handles like an actual bike, and yes it will still fall over without a kickstand. [2992x1683 - 560KB]](https://pic8.co/sh/F5A6Tw.jpg){kind=link}
It rides very smoothly, and despite looking heavy and cumbersome, it handles like an actual bike and weighs about 150 pounds more than a Yamaha MT-09 but still about 200 pounds lighter than a Honda Goldwing, which old men ride the shit out of. I'd say the Niken (It's the Yamaha Niken) handles more like a sport cruiser or slightly heavier standard sport bike like an MT-09 decked out with bags and crash bars and stuff adding more weight. The Niken feels confident to ride.

Niken, I couldn't think of it. I've been looking at a TW for a while, and I've seen this on their website. I believe you that it rides like a heavy mt09.
